I think I've got like 35 graded with another 4 on their way. Those graded are definitely the cream of the crop but the other 150 or so books are pretty cool too. Bout time for bed here, but maybe I'll dig through the stack and post one more book that I like.

Ok - just 2 more. Again, sorry the pictures aren't better.

Astonishing 5 CGC 6.0

Astonishing 6 CGC 4.0

CGC 5.5

Since I can't get scanner to get a good shot this is a digital camera from an angle to avoid flash. Sorry it can't be a better shot.

The JiM 1 got a 6.0. Here's the Forbidden Worlds. I can't seem to scan slabbed books. Is it my 7 year old scanner or me?

By the way, I've got Venus 18, Thing 13, and Flying Saucers 1 out to CGC currently. Christmas in June!

Honestly, I can tell from the guide and from online sales how much $$ books should go for but I don't really know which books are truly sought after, you know what I mean? Since I don't know a whole lot about grading, it's kind of like Christmas when I get each batch back from CGC (actually just tried PGX for the first time). Anyhow, these are the books that I've had slabbed so far. I pretty just went by book value in picking the ones to get slabbed. And I threw in a couple randoms to test the dealer's grading. Let me know if you care to see any of the scans. Here's one of the ones I always thought looked cool.

Ok, figured out how to get the image in the body. Thanks for your help. That Startling Terror came back a 6.5 from CGC. Here's another one. Can you post more than one image in one post?

Let's see if you can see this one.

Hi all - new to the board - and, really, comics in general. A couple years ago my dad gave me a few hundred comics he had collected in the 1940's and early 50's and they seem pretty cool. I had them looked at by a dealer who very smoothly offered me a lot of cash for them after individually "grading" each one. I didn't know the first thing about grading, golden age, etc. Fortunately, I passed on his offer and discovered the services of CGC. I've had about 30 slabbed and they have come back graded substantially higher than the dealer had them. I'm still really ticked at the dealer and hope all dealers aren't that slimy, but I do have to say that I've really gotten into the books. They're mostly horror/scifi. Anyhow, if I can figure out how I'll post some of the scans so you can give me your opinions on them.
